80% realistic and not too inaccurate with some good scenes (by jongbhak) |
I am Korean and biased.In Korea, where I was growing up, Admiral Yi Sunshin was regarded someone omnipresent in everybody's life. He was not regarded as some kind of deity or a great hero. But he was regarded more like everyday household spirit as a human . He is special in that way. He is not god, or legendary hero, but he is a person who is taking part of the greatest history of the Southern coastline. It is because he left a war diary that is ruthlessly plain and accurate and almost too dry. He was respected not only by his valour, great tactic, or special war hero characters, but he <more> |
Wow! (by juanmuscle) |
"How can we stop their suffering, mold fear into courage and manifold manifestations of your greatest courage may endure anything, the grace of god lies not in a whirlpool but in the hearts of peasants?" I don't know the answer to such questions, and I probably shan't ever, I don't think one oughtn't to know things. I don't know exactly what I just saw, but my heart, transfigured, my soul transmuted, and my mind transcending, has felt the effects of - THE ADMIRAL...' And this legend, fact, tale, as it unfolded not without style and charm bolstered by an <more> |
Excellent movie about a historical event (by dnem-18006) |
"Fear does not discriminate. It can equally affect our enemy." There are plenty of awesome lines like this in the film. If you like stories of underdogs overcoming insurmountable odds, then this movie is for you. When it comes to the Korean navy going up against the Japanese, there is no better example.The historical accuracy of this movie is as good as a movie can get, but I was encouraged to read about this battle myself. It is a great movie about a key historical event in Korean history. The dialogue is very sharp between all the actors. There are a few cheesy parts, as most <more> |
Nice to learn a little history while watching an epic film (by nouch) |
AWESOME MOVIE!! How one brilliant man defeated hundreds!! The battle scenes in this movie are amazing and it's interesting to see how the story develops. An admiral changed the fear in his men to that of courage and defeated the enemy. Even the local peasants watched in awe and helped the admiral. So much detail in the film to resemble the actual clothing, ships and respect for their leader. I just wish I understood the language used in the film since something is always lost when translating. The actors spoke in both Japanese and Korean. Fortunately there were English subtitles. I think <more> |
Well-made period film (by phoenician-187-962838) |
Synopsis & Intro Asian countries have been at war for centuries, and Japan and Korea or Joseon Dynasty back then was not an exception. The movie covers the 1592-98 war period, when the Japanese, having unified the land during the Sengoku Period, invades the Korean Peninsula and nearly destroys it. 50%+ population killed Myungryang Battle 鳴梁海戰 is one of the battles during the period. The Japanese were close to winning the war, but the battle is a turning point, as the Japanese once again lose control of the sea, and supply routes are cut off.The movie is quite long, and the <more> |
Does History Repeat Herself? Or do various cultures adapt the same stories and tell them differently? (by erichansen1836) |
This great and exciting film The Admiral - Roaring Currents, 2014 appears to be a spin off of, The Alamo 2004 film , about a United States, State of Texas, True battle against the Mexicans. You will notice many similarities between THE ALAMO and THE ADMIRAL. The Alamo film 2004 came first, but the writers of THE ADMIRAL film 2014 make us believe they were the originators of the plot by setting their film in 1597, whereas The Alamo is set in 1836.In both films you have the head military leader coughing up blood into a napkin. The Admiral does so The Admiral , and Colonel Bowie does so <more> |
Probably the best naval battle ever made in the history of cinema (by kluseba) |
"The Admiral: Roaring Currents" is an ambitious, epic and expensive historical action-drama from South Korea. This movie can already be considered a milestone of Korean cinema from several points of view. It became the biggest film of all time at the South Korean box office in 2014, with more than 17 million admissions and the first local film to gross over US$ 100 million. The costumes, set pieces and weapons were designed after extensive research that even Japanese historians were amazed by the reconstructions of the Japanese warships. General Yi Sun- sin is portrayed by the most <more> |
good if you want a naval battle (by HoppingBunny) |
Recommend reading about Yi Sun Shin before watching this movie. It's relatively difficult to follow the first half of this movie if you don't know something about him. Do yourself a favor and wiki Yi sun shin. It will give a quick glimpse into the man and back drops of this conflict. All historical accounts indicate that one ship went against superior numbers and he won. There are a lot of dramatic interpretations, but you will experience general gist of how he exploited fear in his own men and Japanese navy which suffered heavy casualties by Yi over 6 years of war. One other note: <more> |
Great naval battle, good character development, and amazing acting (by Kryzak) |
I stumbled upon this movie without having ever heard of it, and boy was I glad to watch it. It's the movie about one of the most famous Korean generals in Korean history during a crucial battle in the war with Japan. The acting in the movie was solid, even if I didn't understand the language. The naval battle scenes and how Admiral Yi used naval tactics to fight his enemy were realistic and breathtaking at the same time. I'd compare this with the 300: Rise of an Empire movie, with far less CGI, fantasy elements, better acting, and more realistic portrayal of naval battle. It's <more> |
